Gilad Atzmon: The Spirit of Trane review – heart and soul homagehttps://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/oct/26/gilad-atzmon-the-spirirt-of-trane-review-fanfare-discovery
<p><strong>(Fanfare/Discovery)</strong></p><p>Fifty years after Coltrane’s death, Gilad Atzmon, the expat Israeli saxophonist, clarinetist and author has recorded and is touring this dedication to the great American saxophonist, made with his Orient House Ensemble and the Sigamos String Quartet (Atzmon previously paid tribute to the genius of Charlie Parker on his 2009 album <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2009/feb/27/gilad-atzmon-loving-memory-america">In Loving Memory of America</a>). Here the saxophonist (who embraces Coltrane as “a man who transformed anger into love and plight into a humanist message”) emphasises the American’s tenderness over his revolutionary heat, but he’s dealing with Coltrane’s subjective impact, not mimicking a legacy. The tenor-sax soliloquy on Invitation is warmly romantic, then whirls upward against the quiver of the strings. Minor Thing is a hovering Coltrane-style lament and Blue Train is a flat-out triumph for Atzmon and pianist Frank Harrison, while Naima is a gentle dialogue with strings. It feels as if The Spirit of Trane, an emotional tribute to a master, comes closest to connecting the turbulent Gilad Atzmon’s heart and mind.</p><p><em>•The articl</em><em>e was amended on 3 November to clarify its purpose, which is to review the music.</em></p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/oct/26/gilad-atzmon-the-spirirt-of-trane-review-fanfare-discovery">Continue reading...</a>Gilad AtzmonJazzMusicCultureThu, 26 Oct 2017 18:00:07 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/oct/26/gilad-atzmon-the-spirirt-of-trane-review-fanfare-discoveryPhotograph: Defe N/Record Company HandoutPhotograph: Defe N/Record Company HandoutJohn Fordham2017-10-26T18:00:07ZGilad Atzmon and Alan Barnes: The Lowest Common Denominator – reviewhttps://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/mar/12/gilad-atzmon-alan-barnes-lowest-common-denominator-review
<p>(Woodville)</p><p>This looks like an outlandish pairing, but if you ignore the usual misleading labels (<a href="http://www.alanbarnesjazz.com/" title="">Alan Barnes</a> supposedly mainstream, <a href="http://www.gilad.co.uk/" title="">Gilad Atzmon</a> far-out), differences in style are trivial compared to the things they have in common. They are both phenomenal saxophonists, overflowing with inventive ideas and, equally important, the gift of communicating with an audience. When playing together, they make much comical play of being engaged in deadly conflict, but the spirited way they spark each other off in their improvisations tells a different story. And the mutual fun is catching. Even Barnes’s cod-mathematical album note is hilarious, claiming that the pair of them “like pi, are irrational and can go on and on towards infinity”.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/mar/12/gilad-atzmon-alan-barnes-lowest-common-denominator-review">Continue reading...</a>JazzGilad AtzmonMusicCultureSun, 12 Mar 2017 08:00:18 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/mar/12/gilad-atzmon-alan-barnes-lowest-common-denominator-reviewPhotograph: YoutubePhotograph: YoutubeDave Gelly2017-03-12T08:00:18ZSarah Gillespie: Glory Days – reviewhttps://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/jun/27/sarah-gillespie-glory-days-review
(Pastiche)<p>There's a diminished contribution from multi-instrumentalist Gilad Atzmon on this album, fewer electronic tricks, a place in the band list but barely in the music for star UK pianist <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/music/kit-downes-trio" title="">Kit Downes</a>, and a lot more of her own incisive guitar-playing than before – all of which suggests that <a href="http://sarahgillespie.com/" title="">Sarah Gillespie</a>, the fiercely articulate British-American singer-songwriter, is increasingly happy to fly solo. This album comprises a collection of original songs (the traditional lament St James' Infirmary aside) with a newly personal slant. Her appetite for social commentary with a sting ("I wish I was a soldier/ A bag upon my back/ Far away, dying to get back") hasn't waned, and a mixture of resignation and venom continues to bubble through her lyrics ("You need a mama and a sycophantic secretary/ Some hooker in the background/ And I don't mean John Lee"), while an aching, <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/may/01/madeleine-peyroux-review" title="">Madeleine Peyroux</a>-like swerve has now joined her rich vocal palette of Janis Joplin soulfulness and gritty, Dylanesque irony. Touches such as the Atzmon sax-honk on Babies and All That Shit and the sneaky clarinet opening to St James' Infirmary add plenty of jazzy bite.</p><p>• <em>This article was amended on 28 June to correct the star rating</em></p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/jun/27/sarah-gillespie-glory-days-review">Continue reading...</a>JazzMusicGilad AtzmonCultureThu, 27 Jun 2013 22:15:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/jun/27/sarah-gillespie-glory-days-reviewJohn Fordham2013-06-27T22:15:00ZGilad Atzmon, antisemitism and the left | Andy Newmanhttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2011/sep/25/gilad-atzmon-antisemitism-the-left

(Pastiche)<p>Singer/guitarist Sarah Gillespie doesn't often take her&nbsp;foot off the gas, in which respect she mirrors her arranger and sax-partner Gilad Atzmon's appetite for politically charged intensity. But Gillespie, who joins Bob Dylan's lyrical bite and languid delivery to the forthrightness of&nbsp;Joni Mitchell, with a little rap-like percussiveness thrown in, is an original of real promise, even if she does, perhaps, try to hurl in too many ideas at&nbsp;once. The title means what it says: the&nbsp;songs reference everything from extraordinary rendition to coalition politics, and the forms are often folk songs, challenged by Atzmon's snorting bass clarinet lines, or impish swerves into Flight of the Bumble Bee quotes. There's a compelling bleariness over electronic-percussion beats on the Kurt Weillian Cinematic Nectar; evocative bent-pitch sax sounds introduce the Guantánamo-themed How the West Was Won; and snarling defiance and girly-chorus vocals collide on The Bolsheviks and the Alamo. Although her repertoire is still forming, Gillespie sounds like a mature performer (an incisive guitarist as well as an expressive singer), and she's unquestionably going places.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/jan/20/sarah-gillespie-gilad-atzmon-review">Continue reading...</a>Gilad AtzmonJazzMusicCultureThu, 20 Jan 2011 21:46:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/jan/20/sarah-gillespie-gilad-atzmon-reviewJohn Fordham2011-01-20T21:46:00ZRobert Wyatt/Ros Stephen/Gilad Atzmon: For the Ghosts Within – reviewhttps://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/oct/14/robert-wyatt-stephen-atzmon-review
(Domino)<p>Robert Wyatt, that most eloquently lackadaisical of jazz-loving English troubadours, has made some unforgettable albums over his long solo&nbsp;career, but this will rank among the frontrunners. Mingling jazz standards such as Lush Life, In a Sentimental Mood and Round Midnight with a scattering of originals, and imaginatively arranged by violinist Ros Stephen for the poetic Gilad Atzmon's alto sax and clarinet and a string ensemble, it strikes a balance between tradition-observing musicality and Wyatt's knack&nbsp;for getting to the painful or joyous heart of things while sounding as if he has just dropped in off the street. From the moment Atzmon's vibrant alto curls around Wyatt's matter-of-fact delivery of Laura,&nbsp;through the microtonal clarinet intro to a vocal line mixing falsetto sounds with guttural contemplation on Lullaby for Irena, to the Sergeant Pepper-like quirkiness of electronics and vocal whimsy on Maryan, the session barely misses a beat. Wyatt offhandedly whistles his way through Round Midnight, plays movingly muted trumpet on Lush Life, and comes close to Louis Armstrong's Wonderful World for gratefully dazzled simplicity.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/oct/14/robert-wyatt-stephen-atzmon-review">Continue reading...</a>Gilad AtzmonJazzMusicCultureRobert WyattThu, 14 Oct 2010 22:00:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/oct/14/robert-wyatt-stephen-atzmon-reviewJohn Fordham2010-10-14T22:00:00ZGilad Atzmon Orient House Ensemble | Jazz reviewhttps://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/oct/05/gilad-atzmon-orient-house-ensemble-review
Ronnie Scott's, London<p>Gilad Atzmon's virtuosity, eclecticism, showmanship and ironically delivered politics are currently devoted to the 10th anniversary of his Orient House Ensemble: there's a 40-date tour and a new album. A shrewd pacer of live shows, Atzmon steered tonight's performance from ambiguous, unsettling microtonal and geographical drifts between the west and the Middle East, toward an optimistic, conventionally tempered finale on Wonderful World, pulled off without a hint of cheesiness.</p><p>Atzmon displayed his quavering, pitch-warping sound on the opening of the album's title track, The Tide Has Changed. But he soon cranked up the theme's staccato hook, then sprinted into flying double-time bop. Most of the other improv diversions came from pianist Frank Harrison – who, like his boss, favours deceptively oblique buildups to what become emphatic sermons – though bassist Yaron Stavi and new drummer Eddie Hick were the ensemble's steadily pulsing and sometimes roaring engine.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/oct/05/gilad-atzmon-orient-house-ensemble-review">Continue reading...</a>Gilad AtzmonJazzMusicCultureTue, 05 Oct 2010 21:30:01 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/oct/05/gilad-atzmon-orient-house-ensemble-reviewJohn Fordham2010-10-05T21:30:01ZThis week's new live musichttps://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/oct/02/this-weeks-new-live-music
<p>When the good ship indie seems to be sinking, there's always the lifeboat of dance. So it's currently proving with the likes of Dirty Projectors or Mr Hudson, but among 90s-vintage indie bands it's Of Montreal (actually from Athens, Georgia) who were among the first to make the leap. They're a band who have thrived just as their leader's fortunes seemed to be fading: as Kevin Barnes got depressed, the more upbeat and melodic his music became. Now an admired pop auteur in the vein of, say, Stephin Merritt, Barnes's skills have been sought out by the likes of Janelle Monáe and Solange Knowles, while Of Montreal remain a vibrant outlet for his own creativity.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/oct/02/this-weeks-new-live-music">Continue reading...</a>Gilad AtzmonMusicPop and rockJazzClassical musicCultureFri, 01 Oct 2010 23:06:24 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/oct/02/this-weeks-new-live-musicPhotograph: Jim NewberryOf Montreal.

(World Village)<p>Saxophonist, composer, polemicist and wit Gilad Atzmon is currently celebrating 10 years with his eloquently entertaining world-jazz group, the Orient House Ensemble, and The Tide Has Changed seems to represent a mature yet still eager reflection on the story so far. It's a typically riotous mix of oompah music-hall cavortings, slurred-pitch Middle Eastern rhapsodising, luxuriously sensuous clarinet love-songs, and stormy collective blasts reminiscent of the 1960s John Coltrane quartet. The initially dolorous microtonal opening of the title track over Frank Harrison's strummed piano strings turns into an uptempo section of barked staccato sounds and swerving runs uncircled by Tali Atzmon's vocals, while Bolero at Sunrise – for Atzmon's keening soprano sax – is exactly what its title describes, and In the Back Seat of a Yellow Cab splices the versatile leader's accordion and bluesy alto sax with vocal clamours like a crowded party or the squawks of a channel-hopping radio. Atzmon's albums never quite catch the amiable ferocity of his live shows, but this one certainly expresses the Orient House motto: "Relentlessly, we remind ourselves why we decided to make music in the first place."</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/sep/30/gilad-atzmon-orient-house-ensemble-jazz-cd-review">Continue reading...</a>Gilad AtzmonJazzMusicCultureThu, 30 Sep 2010 21:30:01 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/sep/30/gilad-atzmon-orient-house-ensemble-jazz-cd-reviewJohn Fordham2010-09-30T21:30:01ZPick of the week: Jazzhttps://www.theguardian.com/culture/2009/jul/25/jazz-picks-central

Between his firebrand political outbursts and his blistering live gigs, Gilad Atzmon has somehow found time to pay homage to his heroes. He talks to John Lewis<p>A few days before I meet Gilad Atzmon, he finds himself at the centre of an international storm. The prime minister of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoǧan, has approvingly cited Atzmon during a debate with Israeli president Shimon Peres. "Atzmon, a Jew himself," said Erdoǧan, "says that Israeli barbarity is far beyond even ordinary cruelty." Ever since, Atzmon has been getting 200 emails a day, his BlackBerry is constantly buzzing and his words are being debated by hundreds of bloggers around the world. Atzmon is revelling in the attention.</p><p>"A world leader quoting an artist?" he laughs. "Isn't that incredible? Not a singer, not even a fucking pianist, but a stupid fucking saxophonist!

(Enja)<p>Gilad Atzmon, the expat Israeli saxophonist/clarinetist, combines thrilling jazz musicianship with a maverick political intelligence; anyone who knows him will look at this album's title and smell a rat. But it's not ironic; it alludes to Atzmon's nostalgia for the best of America's broad-horizon potential, what he calls "a memory of America I had cherished in my mind for many years". Atzmon found jazz through a Charlie Parker record when he was a 17-year-old in Jerusalem, and this set (with five standards and six originals) is inspired by the sumptuous harmonies and impassioned sax-playing of Parker's late-40s recordings with classical strings. Atzmon drifts in an uncannily Bird-like manner on a imploring Everything Happens to Me; brings a darker, old-Europe romanticism to his own song musIK; and mingles the string group's soft sweeps and his own crisp phrasing with a bright, funky groove on What Is This Thing Called Love. The title track (barely more than a minute long), is a street-collage of multilingual chatter with the horn interweaving over a thundering hip-hop pulse. The resourceful Atzmon tours the UK with this repertoire from next week.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2009/feb/27/gilad-atzmon-loving-memory-america">Continue reading...</a>Gilad AtzmonJazzMusicCultureFri, 27 Feb 2009 00:01:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/music/2009/feb/27/gilad-atzmon-loving-memory-americaJohn Fordham2009-02-27T00:01:00ZPick of the week: Jazzhttps://www.theguardian.com/music/2009/feb/21/jazz-picks-south
